The world of sandbox games has taken the video game industry by the horns and dominated the market for many years, thanks to its universal play style and its great , virtually endless possibilities to revolutionize the concept of style creation. free, and by unanimous decision one of the most popular games, and also considered one of the best, is Minecraft .
Nowadays Minecraft needs very little introduction, since for the last decade it has led the genre thanks to its revolutionary proposals and its simple but not limited game system, its constant updates that always change details to offer a new experience to the user.
In addition, its presence on all platforms, with its “Bedrock” version selected for mobile devices and game consoles.
Solutions for the ‘Minecraft has stopped or closed’ error
On mobile devices the application is known as “Minecraft: Pocket Edition” although it is also known as the “Bedrock version” since it shares details with the versions for Xbox, PS4 and Nintendo Switch, although the difference it has is that its functions are mixed with those of a conventional cell phone game, so its solutions are similar to those that are already known.
The app may be out of date
The first step to play Minecraft on a cell phone is to be able to download it, which can be done easily either from the official page or from the Play Store , always looking to download the Pocket Edition version since any other version will not work correctly.
If you already have the application downloaded, it is important to verify that the version of MInecraft that is downloaded is the most recent , since the game needs to be updated so that there can be no performance and compatibility problems between the details of each version, because when you They use old versions to the most recent ones, being at the time of writing the article 1.16 «Nether Update».
The cell phone may be the problem
There are times when the application does not require any changes since the cell phone has problems, which can vary greatly between devices. The main problem can be the lack of RAM memory , giving problems when the Minecraft worlds are in a multiplayer world, since the servers can be easily overloaded.
Another problem that may arise is the lack of internal memory, which overloads the operation of the cell phone itself and requires deleting either the game cache, the general cache of the cell phone or applications that are not used on the mobile. The idea is to allow the cell phone to have enough space in RAM and internal memory to run Minecraft functions without problems.
How to configure the game to run smoothly
What is better than solving a problem? Prevent it, and with Minecraft there are many options that allow the game to work on low-end cell phones without having to exploit, in a very similar way to the options that the version for computers has (which can be Java or the version for Windows 10) and it is as simple as mining a block of stone.
Minecraft visual options
Minecraft has very simple graphics and it is not a secret for anyone that its cubic design provides a greater optimization than other sandbox and survival games that work with more elaborate graphics, but it does not mean that the application does not have technical details that affect performance . Minecraft settings allow you to change aspects without even having to enter the game itself.
The most important thing when configuring the aspects is the performance of the «Chunks», which is a measure of blocks that the world loads to render in real time. The game will bring by default a number of chunks capable of being rendered that can be many for some cell phones, so it is advisable to lower the number to a number less than 10 chunks so that its performance improves.
Another option to consider are environmental details such as clouds, particles, lights and graphics, all capable of being changed so that it can be seen in an elegant and more advanced way or with fast graphics that lose some stylization in the final result. All found in the “Settings” menu of the application.
